Holy Cross Greek Orthodox School of Theology

Project Information

• Initiative: Large-Scale Collaborative Grant (LSCG)
• Project Title: Interactive Media Center: A Platform for Preaching, Engagement, and Continuing Education
• Project Description: Holy Cross Greek Orthodox School of Theology is establishing an Interactive Media Center to strengthen the formation of clergy and lay leaders for ministry in a digitally mediated world. The Center will function as a national hub for preaching, teaching, and pastoral education, enabling the creation and dissemination of high-quality podcasts, webinars, courses, and digital learning resources. Through this initiative, faculty, seminarians, and clergy will be trained to communicate the Gospel with theological depth, cultural relevance, and technical competence, while extending Holy Cross's reach to parishes and audiences beyond the classroom. By integrating media-based teaching into the curriculum and offering continuing education to clergy nationwide, the project aims to renew Orthodox preaching, expand access to theological education, and strengthen pastoral leadership across more than 500 parishes.
